- Errol Musk told Insider the claims were “balderdash” and said he was equally attentive to his kids.

Elon Musk worried about how much attention his father Errol Musk was paying to a stepdaughter when she was a minor, Walter Isaacson said in his biography on the Tesla CEO. Over a decade later, Errol Musk fathered two children with the same stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout.
“Elon was getting concerned that Errol, who was then fifty-six, was becoming uncomfortably attentive to one of his stepdaughters, Jana, who was then fifteen,” Isaacson wrote of the Tesla CEO’s views on his father’s relationship in 2002 with Jana Bezuidenhout. “Elon became furious at his father because of what he perceived as his inappropriate behavior, and he had developed a deep sympathy — and tugging sense of kinship — for Errol’s stepchildren. He knew what they had to live with.”
